H Pylori, gastritis and gerd: natural cure?

Posted by pianist3 @pianist3, Jul 31, 2023

Hi, everyone! Has anyone had H Pylori, gastritis and gerd? I really want this cured and out of me. I have a gastro appt this Thursday, but I’m wondering if I can get rid of it naturally before then? I’m trying BPC-157, probiotics, broccomax, mastic gum. Any other ideas? Blessings to you all, Mia TY!!

Hello, Rozy 288,
I am a 72 yo male who has had chronic constipation and gastritis for three years since I had a botched hernia repair. I had a lot of nerve damage from the surgery and could not bear down for fear of causing a new hernia. Now I am laxative dependent (Senna). I have never had H Pylori. When the gastritis is in flare, I take two Pantoprazole a day, Famotidine, baking soda in water, calcium carbonate, sometimes Sucralfate (makes constipation worse). I follow a gastritis diet of bland food. Frequent, small food portions. L.G. Capellan's "The Gastritis Healing Book" is helpful. Best of luck to you!

Just tossing this out there. Could any of this be related to Functional Dyspepsia? Several of your symptoms sound this condition. Check out Gastro Girl on You Tube for more information on several GI issues. She works with ACG (American College of Gastroenterology).

I just had an endoscopy this week. Results show Barrett’s esophagus of 2cm. Mild erythema of mucosa in stomach. Says it is salmon colored. I haven’t talked to the doctor. I have not been sick or in pain, just some acid reflux. I’ve been taking NSAIDs for years for arthritis. Hoping this had not gone too far.

Do not let them do a funduplacation on you. I may have misspelled it. I had Barrett’s esophagus and they did,that surgery. Have had so many problems since

Watch your diet religiously and take a ppi. No eating 3 hours before bed. No carbonated drinks or booze. I had BE but it’s been gone on my last 2 scopes.

If you google Dr. Jonathan Aviv and Dr. Jamie Koufman, you can get a lot of free information on GERD/silent reflux that might help you. Low acid, whole food diet is the main way to manage reflux along with some lifestyle changes. H Pylori, you may need an antibiotic, I don't know how else to address a bacterial infection. I never had to deal with that. Good luck!
